121 | Was it really a fruit? | Gen 2:17 | BradK | 172706 | ||
Hello mrb, It was disobedience to God that caused the fall. Man disobeyed what God had commanded in Gen. 2:17 as described in 3:6-7. The fruit was merely the means by which they fell. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

122 | how could evil exist in the begining? | Gen 2:17 | BradK | 210007 | ||
Hello want2, The fall of satan occured before the Garden of Eden. Let's look at the verse. In Gen 2:17 we have, "but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." In the preceeding verse, God gave them the first (positive) command, "The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely..." Tyndales Concise Bible Commentary provides a good explanation: "The meaning of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is understood by the consequences that Adam and Eve experienced by eating from it (2:16–17). God had said that eating from it would bring death. Thus, the knowledge regarding the tree was knowledge gained by committing a negative act; Adam and Eve gained firsthand knowledge of evil by doing evil. That kind of knowledge brought deadly enlightenment." [Robert B. Hughes and J. Carl Laney, Tyndale Concise Bible Commentary] I hope this helps, BradK |

123 | Did Able give first fruits and not Cane? | Gen 2:17 | BradK | 223805 | ||
Hello jimore, Allow me to repost a previous response of mine to the same essential question: (ID#218588) I can give you a couple of reasons stated from scripture: 1. Heb 11:4 tells us, "By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks." (NASB) The corollary- and implication- is that Cain's sacrifice was not "by faith"; 2. In Gen. 3:17 we take note that God cursed the ground because of sin, "...Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life." (NASB) In Gen. 4:3 we're told, "So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

Hello Hadassah..., Since this is a Study Bible Forum, your question is better handled by mature Christians that you know and are familiar with your situation. I'd seek the Lord in prayer (Phil. 4:6)as well as the counsel of either Elders and/or Pastors of your church. Speaking the Truth in love, BradK |

125 | What was the original sin? | Gen 3:1 | BradK | 123165 | ||
gawdzdice, In Genesis 2:16-17, God warns, "The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." The original sin is called The Fall of Man and is recorded in Genesis 3:1-6: "Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’ ” 4 The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! 5 “For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate." I hope this helps, BradK |

126 | garden sin what happened | Gen 3:2 | BradK | 195823 | ||
Hello EL#, The "fruit" mentioned in Gen. 3:2 is not referred to as an apple. It is the word 'pariy' (Heb). It's generally translated "fruit" and conveys the idea of produce of the ground. If I'm following your question, the reason for their sin was that they disobeyed a direct command of God: "The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." (Gen. 2:16-17 NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

127 | Do you think Adam and Eve would have | Gen 3:5 | BradK | 159325 | ||
Hi Hana, The answer to your question would require speculation since scripture is silent. However, we know what the serpent told them in 3:5 was a lie, "For God knows... you will be like God." Remember what God told them in Gen 2:17, "but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." They were specifically told (commanded) by God NOT to eat of the tree of knowledge. So, the obvious answer is what God promised, that they would would die. If you recall, Rom. 6:23 states, "the wages of sin is death..." I hope this helps, BradK |

129 | Hebrew expert needed - Gen 3:6-7 | Gen 3:6 | BradK | 159297 | ||
Hi Pam, Makarois gave you some good insight on this verse! A resident Hebrew scholar I'm not, but I do have access to great resources:-) The dictionary of Biblical Langauges says this about "eye" as it is used in Gen 3:5: "understanding, formally, eye, i.e., to come to understand as a mental perception." In verse 7, the word for eyes is given a good general understanding in the Theological Wordbook of the OT: "The eyes are depicted as spiritual faculties. After eating the forbidden fruit, the eyes of Adam and Eve were opened. They had lost their innocence, now being aware of their nakedness both physical and spiritual (Gen 3:5, 7)" The Commentary Critical says this: "Vs 5. your eyes shall be opened—His words meant more than met the ear. In one sense her eyes were opened; for she acquired a direful experience of “good and evil”—of the happiness of a holy, and the misery of a sinful, condition. But he studiously concealed this result from Eve, who, fired with a generous desire for knowledge, thought only of rising to the rank and privileges of her angelic visitants. Vs.6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food—Her imagination and feelings were completely won; and the fall of Eve was soon followed by that of Adam. The history of every temptation, and of every sin, is the same; the outward object of attraction, the inward commotion of mind, the increase and triumph of passionate desire; ending in the degradation, slavery, and ruin of the soul (James 1:15; 1 John 2:16)." I hope this helps, BradK |

130 | Genesis 3:6 do you know what does it mea | Gen 3:6 | BradK | 159329 | ||
Hi Hana, What leads you to ask this question? I don't see any direct application of this verse to us. However, the results of what happened in the garden of Eden are with us today. It is the disease of sin. C.H. Spurgeon said (in part) on this malady: "Worst of all, this disease causes death. There is no human being, in whom sin has not already caused spiritual death, and no one in whom it will not cause eternal death, unless God, in his almighty grace, shall prevent it. “The soul that sinneth, it shall die,” is a declaration that is only too terribly true. What that death will be, I shall not, at this time, attempt to show; but such words as these, coming from the lips of Christ, may tell you: “These shall go away into everlasting punishment,” “into the fire that never shall be quenched; where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched”. May none of you ever have to endure that death which never dies, — that dread eternal death, of which the Lord of life so positively speaks! Yet, as surely as God liveth, you will experience even that dread doom unless this mortal malady be healed." I hope this helps, BradK |

132 | how could eve aviod satans deception | Gen 3:6 | BradK | 223869 | ||
Hello my love..., We don't know! What I can tell you is what's relayed to us according to scripture! They were deceived by the serpent (Gen.3:4, 1 Tim. 2:14). As a result, in Gen. 3:6-7, they fell into sin- "When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings." (NASB) To say anything other than what scripture states, would be conjecture! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

133 | Hebrew Expert needed for Gen 3:7 | Gen 3:7 | BradK | 159360 | ||
Hi Pam, The technical stuff may not really help all that much, and I don't think it will answer your question. But... We have, "verb, niphal, imperfect waw consecutive, third person, feminine,plural" However, the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the OT) translates the Hebrew "opened" as dianoigo- which means to open up completely. We know it is a verb, passive mood, aorist tense. So, they were acted upon by an outside force at a time in the past. I hope this helps, BradK |

134 | If God is so powerful and so good, why d | Gen 3:7 | BradK | 215767 | ||
Hello hopalong, The short answer is: due to the fall of man. God, in His permissive will allows evil. God is holy, just, and righteous in His character. All our righteousness is as filthy rags. In man dwells no good thing! We are rebels, who need to lay down our arms. Romans 3:18 says, "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES." Judg 21:25- "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." I hope this helps, BradK |

136 | The serpents curse | Gen 3:15 | BradK | 175397 | ||
Hello her ring, Welcome to the Forum! Your question in regards to Gen. 3:15 is what is commonly referred to as the PROTEVANGELIUM. This is accepted by most as the first hint of the Gospel- that there would be a Savior. Tyndales Bible Dictionary gives this definition that may be of help: "The word means first (protos) gospel (evangelion). Theologians have used the word in reference to the message of redemption God spoke after the fall of man. Speaking to Satan (embodied in a serpent), God said, “From now on, you and the woman will be enemies, and your offspring and her offspring will be enemies. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel” (Gn 3:15, nlt). In the protevangelium we have the protorevelation of the humanity (her offspring) and the divinity (crushing the head of serpent) of the great Deliverer. In this proclamation, God promises a Deliverer who will destroy Satan in an ordeal in which he himself will suffer. This refers to Jesus’ death on the cross. In suffering that death, Jesus defeated him who had the power of death, the devil (Heb 2:14). The devil (Satan) is a created being along with his demons. They're fallen angels and there does not appear to be any scriptural support to indicate that they procreate (Have offspring). I hope this will help, BradK |

Hi miniin43, You may be asking the wrong question pertaining to Gen. 3:15. This is generally understood as God's promise to send a Savior- the first prophecy of a coming Messiah. In what sense are you asking about a woman being liberated? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

139 | Were Adam and Eve changed from Spiritual | Gen 3:21 | BradK | 226741 | ||
Hello TLWTay, Scripture simply says, in Gen. 3:21 "The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them." (NASB) the Commentary CriticaL observes, "21. God made coats of skins—taught them to make these for themselves. This implies the institution of animal sacrifice, which was undoubtedly of divine appointment, and instruction in the only acceptable mode of worship for sinful creatures, through faith in a Redeemer (Heb 9:22)." To say, "that their Spiritual beings were "covered' with flesh and that they were now BOUND to this physical life ???" would be to allegorize and go beyond the direct warrant of the text! I hope this helps, BradK |

140 | How long did Adam and Eve live in Eden? | Gen 3:23 | BradK | 86806 | ||
Dear jasonng, Here's what scripture tells us in Gen. 3:23-24: "therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life." We know "God took the man and put him into the garden" in Gen. 2:15 and then fashioned a woman and brought her to be with him in verse 22. Aside from this the Bible does not specifically tell us how long they were in the garden of Eden. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
